That’s a good one, and also the first thing I thought of.
There’s also a remake that’s not bad that features Hugh Laurie using his native accent.
Star Trek TOS episode ‘Balance of Terror’ is basically an updated submarine movie.
That’s not a put down. They had to teach people how to watch science fiction.
